Grilled Birds started the game in a 2-5-3 formation, whereas Bøttesamlerne lined up in a 3-5-2. Grilled clearly preferred using their divine (+6) (26) ability to attack in the middle today. Making his way up the middle after 7 minutes, Chu Xin Lee almost managed to sneak a goal past the visitors' keeper, but Zlatan Pocrnja was ready and blocked it to keep the score level. 8 minutes in, the referee awarded Grilled a penalty. Bhavya Panigrahi coolly slotted it home for a 1 - 0 lead. The visitors' Július Zlevský was alert on a play coming in from the left, evening things up at 1 - 1 after 18 minutes. Bøttesamlerne took the lead after 21 minutes making the score 1 - 2. The keeper had no chance on Manuel Lafaye's fine volley fromleft of the net after a cross from the right. Maybe Marco Ditter should join the aquatics team instead. He went down dramatically after 22 minutes, crying out with agony as he fell. The referee was not impressed, though, and showed him a yellow for diving. The teams went for the halftime break at 1 - 2. Grilled had the upper hand in possession, maintaining an impressive 57 percent possession of the ball.

After 50 minutes, Vikram Mudaliar went down looking for a penalty after a challenge on the left side of the box, but the referee told him to get up and keep playing. After 75 minutes, the Grilled coach wanted to see a new face on the field, waving Salah Kamel off. Heng Dong Chu took his place. Ismael Nazario Chauquemán was, after 79 minutes, almost able to extend the visitors' lead with a well placed diving header after the ball had looped into the center, but the home side's keeper Jānis Salmiņš made the save. With the clock showing 80 minutes, the fourth official held up the substitution board. Chu Xin Lee looked to see that it was his number in red, so he made his way over to the sideline and swapped out for Teo Chuan Yong, though he would have liked to continue. 80 minutes into the match, the referee signaled for a Grilled substitution. Gilbert Webb came on for Douglas Carapaica. After 81 minutes Grilled were able to score the equalizing 2 - 2 goal when Kalki Parvathaneni picked up a pass coming in from the right and lofted it past the away team's keeper. Bøttesamlerne took the lead 83 minutes into the game, making the score 2 - 3 after some elegant movement down the middle. Adriano Manuel Barata was the scorer. The away team's Christian Schei took advantage of a mistake on the home side's right after 85 minutes increasing Bøttesamlerne's lead to 2 - 4. After 86 minutes, Bøttesamlerne began to show their lack of experience and they threatened to wilt under the heavy pressure from their opposition. Grilled's Abd Hadi Taib Mazhud found himself alone on the left side 87 minutes into the match and launched a marshmallow of a shot - right into the arms of the keeper. What a turkey! The away team's fans are gobbling it up! As the match nears its end, the referee deemed it appropriate to add 1 minutes as stoppage time. The match ends 2 - 4. Well, look at this! Cardi B is on the Enormotron in naught but giant sunglasses, red tassles, and a Holy Hand Grenades of Antioch tank top. I've not seen anything like it before. The most outstanding Grilled player was without a doubt Chan Ze Han. Good thing Bhavya Panigrahi isn't a horse, because he'd surely be sent to the glue factory after that performance. Arne Walderhaug performed admirably for Bøttesamlerne. I can't remember Július Zlevský ever having a worse night than he just had.
